Attachment Disorders

Descripció

The concept of attachment disorder has grown in recent years, yet there is considerable confusion among professionals about what constitutes an attachment disorder and how to provide palliative care for affected children. This book is the first serious attempt to summarize what is known about these disorders, drawing on theory, empirical research and experience in child care settings. Attachment Disorders provides an overview of the concept of attachment disorder, makes suggestions about assessing whether children are suffering from such a disorder and explains how to intervene in and manage cases once diagnosed.
